KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3430069
Help bring back your truck's original ride control and handling with the KYB shock absorber 344045, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube Excel-G rear shock built on the same KYB OE assembly lines that supply new-vehicle manufacturers. This KYB Excel-G gas shock absorber is calibrated to restore your vehicle's designed performance rather than change it — earning it KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. It installs as a direct-fit replacement in the rear position on many vehicles, among them the 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder and 1987-1993 Dodge Ram 50 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Shocks work as a pair — replacing both rear units together supports even, balanced ride control.
